Re: Symbol in a table cell

Ahh, nice find there. Tom.

From Creo Help:

 

To Redefine a Symbol

1.
Click Format▶ Symbol Gallery. The DEFINITION menu appears.
     

2.
Click Redefine. The GET SYMBOL menu appears. Use the Diagram Item or 
Symbol filters to select the required symbol.
     

3.
Select an instance of the symbol to edit or click Name to select a predefined symbol 
from the Select Symbol Definitions dialog box and click OK. The symbol is placed in 
the drawing.
     

4.
Use the SYMBOL EDIT menu to make the edits.
If you edit the drawn symbol, all instances are updated. If you edit symbol parameters, 
you can check the Propagate option to globally update the symbol instances in the design. 
 
     

5.
Click Done/Return, when you finish.

If I understand it correctly, ticking the propagate option makes the symbol variable to show the same value in all other symbols of the same name, that are in the drawing. Whenever you change the variable in one instance of the symbol, this variable will also change in other occurences of the symbol in the same drawing.

There is a option to do nice documentation in other Creo module. It used to be called Arbortext. I just can't remember what Creo name it has now. It has an option to make good looking drawings that are associative to original parametric models.
